- Rewrote GameKing skeleton driver, dumped + added internal ROM, boots and runs menu, not yet fully working [Peter Trauner].
- pet_rom.xml: Added MONJANA/1 [Ruud Baltissen].
- Added Bandai Super Note Club Software List [Team Europe].
- spc1000: Using timing difference for cassette deck motor on/off toggle [Miso Kim].

- mac: Use real split ROMs for maciici [Guru]
- Modernize `simple_list` code [Vittorio Romeo]
- Modernize x86log.h and x86log.cpp [Vittorio Romeo]
- Make -verifyroms verify sub-devices like mpu401 and c2040fdc [qmc2].
- apollo: Cleanups and enhancements [Hans Ostermeyer]
  * Split OMTI8621 ISA device into PC and Apollo versions (Apollo
    doesn't have a BIOS extension ROM, PC does)
  * Cleaned up OMTI8621 logging
  * Forced slot # of OMTI board so we can look it up and auto-set the
    node ID
  * Adjusted mouse sensitivity
- Squale Floppy drives working, EF9365 emulation improvement. [Jean-Francois DEL NERO].
-HLSL: Improved Defocus, Fixed LCD screen, Extended Shadow Mask and Bloom Made defocus strength equal for x/y and independent from screen size defocus is now independent from screen size and ratio horizontal and vertical defocus now have the same strength replaced asymmetric defocus kernel by a symmetric kernel defocus is now limited to a maximum of 10 added shader uniforms for orientation and rotation
 settings Fixed HLSL for LCD screen fixed wrong detection of vector screen, which meant that a LCD screen was also detected as vector screen re-enabled scan-line and other CRT related sliders for LCD screen Extended Shadow Mask and Bloom functionality added shadow mask option to choose between "Screen" and "Source" tile
 mode ("Screen" is the default as before) added bloom option to choose between "Addition" and "Darken" blend mode ("Addition" is the default as before) the alpha channel of a shadow mask is now filled with the background color of the screen by the amount of the inverted alpha value added monochrome-matrix.png which can be used in combination
 with "Source" tile mode and "Darken" blend mode to simulate a STN LCD [ImJezze].
